I would keep GC svn as the master and mirror to git. svn is a little
safer, using --force you can do quite some interesting things in git.

The main purpose of using git-hub is to have something where you can
easily fork a short-lived development branch, one for which you have a 
burst of work for a week or two until things are settled enough to go
back into the main repository. After that the forked branch will be
deleted again. I'm even tempted to call the whole thing OpenSG-Sandbox.

For that I think syncing once a day with a cron job is more than
enough, which is what I had in mind. The rebase operations on the
temporary dev branches you would want to do manually anyway.

no, I haven't found a way to do that nicely either at the time when I
was playing with CDash a while back.

hmm, I thought you could delete files for a 'short' (don't know how
short 'short' really is) period of time after uploading them without
them being kept forever.

I'm fine with it.
